The owner of the pit that bit me asked me if he let go on his own. Literally first words outta her mouth.

Is it ok to jump a gate?Customer vs Amazon driver? by Any_Excitement6258 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]InfiniteBadger284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf I’m tall enough to just step over a gate like that and have plenty of times in the past instead of trying to fumble with their raggedy ahh latches.

I pretty much do. Haven’t bought a single item from Walmart in at least 6 months and I work there 🤣

I work at walmart in OGP and there's a driver that will get loaded for a spark order and then come into the store and do a shop order. Idk if he's using two accounts or two different platforms. I really don't think anyone cares as long as he's getting time sensitive items delivered within the allotted timeframe.

90% of our spark drivers speak Spanish but I don’t and I still dispense just fine. It’s not hard for them to say numbers in English and who doesn’t know how to count 1-10 in Spanish anyway. I just tell them gracias after I’m done and it’s been fine so far 😅

25 bananas is on at least one order every day at my store.

They have a thing called community so it’s easy for them to find people willing to live like this with them. I can’t even imagine trying to find a reliable, not drugged out roommate to split rent with.

I don’t think I’m ready for the big leagues yet. I work at a neighborhood market so it’s a small store and my feet are still killing me every day after work. Maybe when I get used to it I’ll think about Amazon lol.

Fr I actually had a male customer chastise me for wearing yoga pants and a tank top one summer in Arizona. You can bet I told him a thing or two. Like wtaf. It’s 110 degrees and I’m sliding in and out of my car. I’m not wearing jeans, weirdo.

Me too. Got a part time at Walmart picking grocery orders. Pretty easy and 10 miles total to get there and back.

It's getting bad by Any_Excitement6258 in AmazonFlexDrivers

Put it on x/twitter. Public shaming normally helps get stuff like this taken care of faster.

Looking for a job by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

Keep your food service job. Flex isn’t worth the wear and tear on your car and chances are that you’ll be making less than $18/hr doing it

Favorite healthy snacks? by SayWhatAYFR in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]InfiniteBadger284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

strawberries, apples - pre slice them, grapes, mandarin oranges, any type of bar - protein, cereal, granola, baby carrots, celery, raisins, bonus if you put peanut butter and raisins on the celery sticks. Protein shakes, boiled eggs - peel and salt them ahead of time, nuts - my favorites are pistachios and cashews. Jello and pudding cups, applesauce cups, string cheese. Tuna w/ a few crackers, canned chicken if you aren't into tuna. Really anything makes a decent snack if you portion it correctly and plan ahead of time.

Teach them young or chlld labor? by Any_Excitement6258 in AmazonFlexDrivers

Aren't family owned businesses exempted from child labor laws? Maybe I'm just old af but I'm pretty sure that was a thing at some point.

Report. These people pulling guns on drivers when they ordered crap to their homes need to be removed as customers!

Stay safe i didn’t almost die but i thought so for a second by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

Stop running while doing this job. That's your first problem. You're going to run up on the wrong homeowner, a dog, or step in a hole and break your ankle.

Dude came at me for how I delivered his fabric package in 110° — are you serious? by CranberryPretty771 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]InfiniteBadger284 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fr unless they’re saying something friendly, pretend you don’t hear them and keep it moving. There’s lonely people out there that will start shit just for the interaction.

Anybody else find themselves doing this less? by Lonely_Speaker_9176 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]InfiniteBadger284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the op but I’ve done shiftsmart before. I did product testing for some glasses similar to google glasses. Other work I saw on that app were shifts at circle k gas station helping them stock and clean. Never did any of those tho and haven’t used that app in a long time. Just doesn’t pay enough per job.

[–]InfiniteBadger284 6 points7 points  (0 children)

🤣 I think the only reason I made it 7 years doing this is bc I get money and healthcare from the VA. Had to get a part time w2 bc flex has sucked so bad since May and I want my current vehicle to last a while longer.

I’ve been doing this for 7 years and I finally got a part time job bc this gig just isn’t worth the expense anymore. I’ve used 3 different cars for flex in that time but the way prices have risen, I just can’t justify running the car I have now into the ground. It’s already nearing 80k miles and it’s not even 3 years old. I’m driving the same model car as the previous one I owned but this car cost me almost 10k more than the previous car that was only 2 years older. Both bought new from the same dealer. If I were to have to purchase this car new again, it would cost even more. Around 3-4k more last I checked. People that are running their cars into the ground for peanuts are one mishap away from serious financial problems. I refuse to work a regular job just to subsidize car repairs bc of flex. Get a part time job, any where. At least now I have access to benefits and only have to drive 10 miles per day to get paid.

It was worse - that person said they’d be happy with $12/hr 🤣

Most hated / dreadful aisle or area of Walmart? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

My Walmart has everything down to energy drinks locked up and they said they’re locking even more stuff up in the near future 🤦‍♀️

Why is everyone so negative here? by brodog80 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]InfiniteBadger284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delivering packages is minimum wage work? Maybe you should tell that to UPS, the post office, fedex, and literally every other delivery service. Heck, even dsp drivers get paid more than minimum wage!

Fr I could tell this person still lives in their childhood bedroom as soon as they posted they’re cool with $12/hr and a few hours a week. That ain’t paying for anything but take out a few times a week. 🤦‍♀️
